Site, group, and user configuration takes place in the Access Management section of Argus Console. Here you can add, copy or delete users, groups or sites.
Each user must be assigned to at least one group in order to determine their security level. Each group is assigned a specific security level. This security level enables members of the group to view, modify, or restrict access rights to various sections of the Case Form, and so on.
The first set of steps in configuring Argus safety is to create the following exactly in the listed order:
Sites
Groups
Users
|
Note: The configuration must occur in the exact order specified above. |
Addition of Sites is necessary in order to create Users because every user must be assigned to exactly one Site. Site information can also be used in automatic numbering of case IDs.
To configure Sites, use the Access Management --> Argus --> Sites section. The following is an illustration of that section.
The following table lists and describes the fields on the screen.
| Field/Control Name | Description |
| Description | Enter a description of the site. |
| Abbreviation | Enter an abbreviation of the site name. A one to four character abbreviation is required for each site. |
| Site Type | Select the Site Type Argus or LAM (Local Affiliate Module). |

|
Note: Each Argus Safety user must be assigned to exactly one user site.You cannot change the site type from LAM to Central if the current central site has an association with a LAM site, the current site is associated with any user, or the current LAM site has any events assigned to it. |

The filtering criterion is essential as it helps you to search for specific items. The Argus Console provides this option for the Access Management section. The filtering browser is displayed as the Code Filter List
Argus Console helps you to filter information further for the Access Management section. Using the Code Filter List you can specify whether your search should contain or start with specific alphabets.
For Example: The following filtering criteria enables the system to search for all User Sites that contain A in the abbreviated term.
The right panel now displays the list of User Sites based on the filtering criterion.
Each user of Argus Safety can be a member of one or more user groups. The access rights of each user group to the menus in the user interface and specific sections of the Case Form can be configured when the group is created.
Configuration of the user site is done using the Access Management-->Argus --> Groups section.
The following table lists and describes the fields in the Modify Group Information section. 
| Field/Control Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Enter a unique name for the group. |
| Add the group email, used for case priority notification and workflow routing notification. | |
| Supervisor Email | Add the Group's Supervisor Email as applicable. This e-mail address is used to send notifications when the maximum time of a case for a particular workflow state is exceeded. |
| Menus | Lists the menus and sub menus within a Case Form and allows you to enable or disable each of them. |
| Case Form | Lists the sections and sub sections within a Case Form and enables you to assign the group Modify; View (Read Only); or No Access (not visible) to each area. |
| Listedness Determination - Countries | Assigns Argus users to the group that has rights to change the listedness determination for licenses originating in the selected countries. |
| Restrictions - Products | Limits the number of products that can be viewed in the trade name lookup and non-study cases. |

This section enables the Administrator to configure the security levels for each work group.
Radio buttons enable you to view the group and assign access rights for several specific sections of the case form, menu, case workflow, and report workflow.
If a user belongs to multiple groups, the access rights for the user will be the sum-total of the individual group access rights. Consider the following example:
John Smith is an Argus User and his profile has been added to 2 user groups with different access level permissions for each group.
John has access rights to the Patient Tab in one group and access rights to the General Tab in another group.
In this case, John will be able to access both the Patient and the General tabs of Argus
